# Vashi APMC to decide onion-potato market fate in 2 months 2026-08-13T18:03:44+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Hindustan Times reports that the Vashi APMC will decide the fate of its onion-potato market within two months and begin a digital shift within a year. The market, classified as dangerous since 2005, received a notice from the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation to stop operations. Marketing minister and APMC chairman Jaykumar Rawal announced the roadmap after inspecting all five yards. The overhaul includes demolishing the spice market's central facility building, repairing the fruit market, and improving toilets, lighting, and roads. A digital system covering produce movement from truck entry to unloading will start within a year, with most transactions cashless in two to three years. The state also plans to appoint an independent CEO and recruit staff through a transparent exam. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: APMC reform, digital payments, Maharashtra, market modernisation, onion-potato market, Vashi APMC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/vashi-apmc-to-decide-onion-potato-market-fate-in-2-months/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
